This year, we laid the foundation for what will become the Douglas Institute of the future. While last year represented a turning point with our designation change from a hospital to a university mental health institute, this year marked a new milestone in our work to cement our status as an innovative and international leader in mental health research, teaching and care.

Together we will work at: building a better mental health system; building an even stronger scientific community; building our expertise, sharing our knowledge and building an engaged community.

Discover some of the people who are the very embodiment of our institute’s mission by reading the 2007-2008 Annual Report of the Douglas Mental Health University Institute.
